They did it. They got married. And the bride was beautiful.<\/p>\n

No post last week because Jon and I were too busy running around\u00a0doing last-minute errands — planning the Sunday morning farewell\u00a0brunch, picking up the wedding gown, that kind of thing.<\/p>\n

The bride was beautiful. The setting was exquisite — three tall jacaranda trees were in full bloom, so were banks of white roses. The Irish band<\/a>, Alehouse Fire,\u00a0kept everyone on their toes. Friends and family showed up from near and far. The bride beamed with joy at her new husband. And the groom beamed back.<\/p>\n

It was magical. Everything a mother could wish for her daughter — and her brand new son-in-law. Yea!<\/p>\n
